Vanzack I respect you as much as anyone in this degenerate Wonderland. You're wrong, they knew about Mantei Teo, missed the boat today. Payback is a girl. Year of the square in the NFL. You're not square, give me an honest unit assessment on your season?

Not debating you at all on your assessment of this season. Very square. Lots of favs.

Just confused about this particular game, and Im not pretending like I know anything because I dont. Really an honest attempt to get opinions or maybe someone actually knows something about the process.

It just doesnt make sense that books didnt make money today. And I am just wondering about how that the line would go against the eventual winner in such a big game, and they not make money (on the spread and ML only).

I'm no Billy Walters, but I like to believe I understand the system. God knows I spend enough time on this S H I T. The mysterious group of no names who get it right more times then not, some call them the LVSC, I call them ISR. (Internal Sports Revenue) missed the boat tonight and really had a bad season. It's a fact, just don't expect a front page story. Good news for them, always next year...

You are way too sure of yourself for someone that has no clue. You try to "school" everyone into thinking that there is close to equal money on every game and that is the goal of the books. There are so many games that there's not anywhere close to equal action. Keep living in fairytale land and wake up and realize that there are a ton of games that almost everyone is taking the same team. More often than not the team noone is betting on covers so Vegas isn't really taking much of a risk overall in the long term although they may take a bath on any specific game.

The lights in Las Vegas sports books should stay on for the foreseeable future.

The
approximately 184 sports books throughout Nevada made enough money on
Super Bowl XLVII to at least pay their electrical bills. But they didn’t
make enough to shell out for a Beyonce halftime show.

The
Baltimore Ravens' 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in New
Orleans, which will be remembered for the 34-minute delay in the third
quarter after a power outage at the Superdome, wasn’t the best result
for Las Vegas. It wasn’t the worst, either.

“We’re a small
winner,” reported Jimmy Vaccaro, the spokesman for William Hill sports
books. “We ended up with some Ravens moneyline late, so that took some
of our steam out. But we did OK.”

Books made money on the Super
Bowl for the sixth straight year, making a profit on the most bet-on
game in sports each year for the 20th time in the last 22 seasons.

Sports
book directors weren’t raving about the result as Baltimore quarterback
Joe Flacco — who went over the three most popular proposition wagers
posted by sports books with 287 passing yards, 22 completions and three
touchdowns — accepted his MVP trophy underneath a swarm of falling
confetti. They were, however, rather positive about the handle.

The
record $94.5 million wagered on the 2006 Super Bowl, when the
Pittsburgh Steelers covered the 3-point spread in a 21-10 over the
Seattle Seahawks, is within reach.

“If everyone did what we did,
then I would expect we’d break the record,” MGM Resorts sports book
director Jay Rood said. “We fared pretty well, but it’s difficult to say
how everyone else did. There’s a strong possibility that some of the
local places could have seen more Ravens money.”

Most places in
town saw Ravens action when they opened as a 5-point underdog two weeks
ago, which plummeted the 49ers down to as low as 3.5-point favorites.
But Niners action came out in full force in the last three days, driving
the spread back up to as high as minus-4.5.

Bettors on the other
side weren’t shy about taking the Ravens +165 (risking $1 to win $1.65)
on the moneyline. Strong opinions abound on both sides, hence why Rood
said MGM took several six-figure bets starting Friday afternoon until
Sunday’s kickoff.

“I was really surprised,” he said. “We probably
had a few more of them on the 49ers, but the Ravens got some support
too. I think that’s what dictated our result.”

The prop bets were
no help to MGM or several other books. San Francisco quarterback Colin
Kaepernick, the most bet-on player in Super Bowl history, went over both
his passing and rushing yards props by 70 and 12, respectively.

What
hurt the worst was the Ravens intentional safety at the end of the game
and Jacoby Jones 108-yard kickoff return to start the third quarter.
Bettors pile on the “yes” for whether there will be a safety, which most
sports books offer at +800, and defensive or special teams touchdown,
available at +200, every year.

“The props were a very small
winner,” Vaccaro said. “The Kaepernick kid didn’t help. The safety and
touchdown were two of the bigger ones of the day and we lost both of
them, but we beat most of the other ones safely.”

The best-case
scenario for Las Vegas was if the 49ers won but didn’t cover the spread.
Sports books would have raked in millions with that scenario.

Vaccaro
and his counterparts around town were salivating when Kaepernick led
San Francisco to a first-and-goal series with two minutes left in the
game.

“If the 49ers would have scored there to knock out the
Ravens moneyline but not cover the point spread,” Vaccaro said, “that
would have been the best of the best.”

Instead, Kaepernick threw
three straight incompletions after the 49ers picked up a small gain on
first down. Las Vegas settled for a slight win.

“The 49ers
sneaking in there would have been perfect,” Rood said. “But it didn’t
happen. It went kind of like the rest of the season did for us.”

Your quote says NOTHING to do with them LOSING MONEY like you are claiming. What they were talking about there is they would have made THE MOST AMOUNT OF MONEY if the 49ers WON, BUT DIDN'T COVER THE SPREAD.

For those the fix was in belivers, why didn't vegas make the call to the refs to be sure the 9ers scored so vegas would of not only won money on SB sunday but really cleaned-up.............................................

Bookmakers speculated that the popularity of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who played his college football at Nevada, drove some of the betting among locals.

The previous record was set in 2006, when gamblers wagered $94.5 million on the Super Bowl between the Seattle Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Book makers said they took a beating this year on proposition bets,
including a long-shot on whether there would be a safety. Ravens punter Sam Koch took a safety for the final score with 4 seconds left.

Casinos retained 7.3 percent of the millions wagered, slightly less
than the average hold during the past decade, which has fluctuated from
lows of negative 2.8 percent to highs of 17 percent.

The 65 points scored in New Orleans easily exceeded the over/under of
49. Gamblers bet the line down 1 1/2 points before the game to give the
49ers a 3 1/2 handicap by kickoff.

Late money poured in for the ''over'' wager and for the 49ers, who have
built a reputation as a second-half team, Kornegay said.

Johnny Avello, director of race and sports at Wynn Las Vegas, said the
big plays that characterized Sunday's game and made it fun to watch were
gloomy news for casinos, which offer a growing list of proposition bets
on everything from whether quarterbacks will throw interceptions to
whether teams will score in the final two minutes of the first half.

''Everything that could've happened yesterday almost did,'' Avello
said. ''All the props - `Will this guy pass by this much?' `Will this
guy make this many receptions' - all of those were, `Yes.'''

''The safety was awful,'' he added. ''When we cashed last night, it seemed like everyone had a bet on a safety.''

Casinos paid out at 9-to-1 for the safety. Fans who bet that the 49ers' final score would be on a safety cashed in at 50-to-1.

Sports books also paid out big last year when the New York Giants played the New England Patriots and the first score of the game was a safety. Next year, Avello plans to lower the odds for that outcome.

Nevada sports books have lost only twice on the Super Bowl in the past
20 years, most recently in 2008, when New York beat the Patriots,
costing casinos a record $2.6 million.

The more prop bets year after year, the more money they make. They got hurt on the safety no question, but no way did they lose money on the game. They have it down to a science and cover their behind as a whole with all of the eXotic bets.
